<title>Outsourcing Transcription of Disciplinary Meetings</title>

<pubDate>Mon, 30 Jul 2007 08:54:25 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Disciplinary hearings are becoming a minefield for companies to negotiate, with the risk of being sued for defamatory remarks or discrimination an ever present threat. This is why many companies are resorting to having all disciplinary meetings transcribed by an independent and unbiased agency, not related to the company or the individual under disciplinary review in any way. If you are planning to outsource transcription of disciplinary reviews, meetings or hearings, here are some pointers to help you get the best results. ]]></description>

<title>Outsourcing Business Audio Transcription - Do You Really Need Verbatim? It's Cheaper Without It!</title>
<link>http://EzineArticles.com/656614</link>
<guid>http://EzineArticles.com/656614</guid>
<pubDate>Tue, 24 Jul 2007 14:10:46 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[People often assume that transcription needs to be 'verbatim' and some definitions of transcription even include the word as part of the definition. However, a verbatim transcription actually includes every repeated word, every 'um' and 'erm', all those 'filler' phrases like 'you know' and 'know what I mean' that may be repeated a hundred times in one interview or meeting, and can also include pauses, coughs, throat clearing etc. if required. Needless to say, this takes longer. If the transcriptionist can filter out all this stuff the transcript will be completed more quickly and therefore cost less. ]]></description>

<title>Video Recording for Transcription - It May Not be Worthwhile</title>

<guid>http://EzineArticles.com/656543</guid>
<pubDate>Tue, 24 Jul 2007 14:02:20 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[If you're planning to make a video recording for transcription, whether digital or analogue, the first thing you need to consider is the reason for recording video rather than audio. If you have other reasons for wanting video - for instance to record the body language in a training session or meeting, or because you're recording TV or film footage, then you may want to consider transferring to audio before sending to your transcriptionist. I'm not aware of any transcription machines that will play back video footage, and there is significant time involved in transferring video to audio tape in order to transcribe it. If you are recording video in a meeting or focus group, in order that the transcriptionist can better identify speakers, then you need to carefully consider how best to set up the cameras or the effort may go entirely to waste. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Outsourcing transcription works for many reasons, but the nub of the matter is that although anyone can set themselves up as a transcriptionist, a good transcriptionist is much more than just someone who can type; transcription is a specialized business.
